Why oh why did my Zelda: Collector's Edition only sell for £15.30?
This always happens to me, I watch a couple of items on eBay to see how much they sell for, then when I try to sell exactly the same thing I do so for about £5 less. What a load of crap!
Half an hour before mine ended the exact same thing sold for £23.50, sealed liek mine, with a much shorter discription. It really, really f**** me off.
Bah, you stupid eBay nobs.

Definetely get paypal working and as many options as you can :D
Nah, it got 120 views, just not many bids.
Was going to say try and include as many "possible search words" in your title - prehaps not enough people are finding your items ?
Ah, thanks. I'll go about trying to get myself a paypal account and change my discriptions.
Hopefulyl my other tiems will sell well :-D

hmm, here's what I think;
1) CHANGE THAT FONT - Use good old Times New Roman and stick to 12 or 14 font size. I don't know what that font is you have right now but I was finding I had to really concentrate to read it.
2) Paypal - as you've said. People can pay with credit cards this way and seeing as most of the nation likes running them up this is the best way to get money. People whine about Paypal's rates but they're very good. You lose 3.4% + 20p of the total, but even retail stores lose 2.5% of a credit card transactions.
3) Say you'll send cheque items out immediately but that you reserve the right to wait for cheques to clear. I do this, and if a person has good feedback (50+) there is little reason not to. People don't like to wait, and don't like to use postal orders because they're expensive.
Other than that I don't think you have a problem, you need Paypal, and a regular font.

Good point there.
I suppose it's a risk I'm willing to take, but I don't just go rushing to the bid button.
I always thought Escrow looked like a good service, but then there was a lot of fraudulent Escrow companies popping up so I avoided that.

Paypal does that.
The thing with a direct transfer is that if somebody is screwing you around, ebay can't do anything to get your money back, wheras I think with Paypal they have the ability to ammend fraud and stuff.

Do as I do! That way your product gets despatched the same day (providing the seller is on form!).
A bit risky I suppose, but I never bid on an itemunless I'm fully convinced it's not dodgy in any way.

I avoid auctions that don't accept paypal.
Having to mail a cheque and then wait while it arrives, get's cleared and THEN the item dispatches...
Too much of a nuisance!

Your Auctions look good enough anyway Rickoss, plus the fact you are selling the items still in wrapping, you offer very good deals.
